ON THE bus home, I met again?after several months one of my closest college friends. Aside from beer, there is one more thing that binds us together.

Good thing, the guards did not open my bags again. I looked for a vacant seat and noticed a familiar face. Only, this face was more hairy and looked like that of a man?five years older than me. “Ariel,” he called me “it’s you!”

ABOUT 70? people vied to become a Kagawad in our Baranggay. I personally know only about two or three of them. So, I had to ask some people who their choices are and why.

From my talks with them, I have seen how the people in my neighborhood choose the people they want to be their leaders.

Many of the voters base their decision on a) the character of the candidate; and b) how the the candidate has helped or may help them, among others.

The event was not merely a meet-up?where bloggers simply bond with each other, share stories and tips, and bring home freebies. It was different in the sense that it had a?relevant and noble aim: Blogging for Culture, Identity, and Understanding. Aware of the negative conotation about the island insinuated by the mainstream media’s coverage of the isolated conflicts in Mindanao, blogging is seen as an alternative medium, which will promote the true identity of?Mindanao and its peoples. Through our blogs, we can help make our fellow Mindanaoans?aware of our own culture and?others understand our ways.

I was awakened by a message from Jehz, one of the web administrators of prcboardexamresults.com that the result of the August 2007 Licensure Examination for Teachers is already out.

A little later, Aethen called, congratulating me for passing the LET.

I checked out inquirer.net and here is what I found:

LET 2007

According to the Manila Bulletin:

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) announced yesterday that 18,376 elementary teachers out of 66,709 examinees and 16,811 secondary teachers out of 57,723 examinees passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) given by the Board for Professional Teachers on Aug. 26 in 19 testing centers in the country.

I HAVE finally left my old blog. I now have the feeling similar to that of an OFW who does not want to leave his home but has to. I don’t want to leave my Blogdrive because it?had been home for me in the?last?three years but I had to leave it for this new home, which offers a wider space to move about.

I’m looking forward to a more meaningful journey with Wordpress.

The Missing Flash Disk

WHAT COULD?be worse for a blogger who doesn’t have a personal computer than to lose his flash disk containing all his files?

I last updated this site by posting a picture I have stored in my USB stick. I did not notice that I forgot to detach it from the computer I used at the Internet cafe. I only knew that I lost it when I was about to save a file from the computer at the faculty room.

I returned to the Internet shop to ask the one of the staff if they found a tiny blue flash disk last night but they told me they found none.
